10 Terrible Star Wars Characters With ONE Incredible Scene

6. Order 66 - Ki-Adi-Mundi

From one devastating mass murder in the Star Wars universe to another, and to that moment when the majority of the Jedi Order was wiped from the galaxy.

Before becoming one of the many Force-users who were shockingly taken out by their former clone allies on the battlefield, though, Jedi Master Ki-Adi-Mundi hadn't really done much to endear himself to audiences, had he?

His most memorable contributions to the Skywalker Saga movies came in the form of such arrogant statements as "Impossible. The Sith have been extinct for a millennium" and Count Dooku apparently just being "a political idealist, not a murderer."

He definitely came across as a slightly less arrogant and heartless figure in the Clone Wars animated series, but the only real moment that forced folks to give a damn about the unsympathetic Jedi Master in the films came during the aforementioned Order 66 massacre.

As the clones began picking off various Force-sensitive generals all over the galaxy, Ki-Adi-Mundi is the first to drop. The Jedi Council member was seen leading a collection of troops on the planet Mygeeto, only for that backup to shockingly turn on him and officially kick off a galaxy-changing event.

Again, John Williams' emotional score makes Mundi's last stand more heartbreaking than it had any right to be, and gave the generally unlikeable Jedi a surprisingly upsetting end.
